The electric streetfighter

The Brammo Empulse R: 100 percent electric, 100 percent butch

Now we aren’t going all ‘Captain Planet, go ahead and save the world’ on you. We aren't drumming up support for socially-responsible, do-gooder Prius-driving Type-B personality gentlemen either. They, of course, have their place in the world, just not in ours. What we’re rooting for here is the Brammo Empulse R. With a suspension similar to the Ducati 848 Streetfighter and a gloriously naked approach to motorcycle design, this looker is , quite simply, badass. And quick. And efficient. Get this: a 160 Kph with a range of 160 Km before you recharge its 10.2 kWh Lithium-ion battery. Sound good enough for you? It revs upto 6,500 rpm and delivers a maximum torque of 63 Nm, with its weight trimmed down to a svelte 213 kg. This bike could really start a fight within the electric streetbike market – the supercar equivalent of which is already being fought between Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren. The gloves are off, gentlemen. Fight!
